ANAHEIM, California – John Bedard, 45, of East Helena, Montana was killed Tuesday afternoon in a motorcycle crash on the eastbound State Route 91 freeway, just west of the Interstate 5 freeway, according to a press release issued by the Orange County Sheriff Coroner Department.

The 3:15 p.m. crash reportedly took place in the car pool lanes which were subsequently closed following the crash, according to news reports.

Paramedics transported Mr. Bedard to UCI Medical Center in Orange where he succumbed to his injuries about 8:09 p.m. that night. The California Highway Patrol’s Westminster division is investigating the motorcycle crash to determine its cause and who is liable for the death of Mr. Bedard.

The police investigation will seek to find out if there are any other circumstances that led to the crash including whether anyone involved was under the influence of alcohol, drugs or distracted. Also, police are seeking to find out if there are circumstances that may have led to the crash that were illegal or reckless such as speeding.

“Families of victims killed in motorcycle accidents not only have to cope with the loss of a loved one, but later their lives may be forever changed due to the loss of income and other costs,” said Attorney West Seegmiller, a motorcycle rider and personal injury lawyer. “We all pay to have insurance to cover us in case there is an accident because the victims will need money for their medical needs and so many other financial losses.”
